First, I got a new PSP; mine was malfunctioning, with a failing disc drive or drive disc detector. Basically, the Playstation button screen popped up constantly while the system was trying to access discs, making playing many games difficult. I've been wanting to get it fixed, but wasn't sure how... so, while I was in the local game store today, I mentioned it, and he said that they have now marked down all PSPs to only $50... and they had a green PSP 3000, the color I'd really wanted! Plus, I got $10 tradein credit for my semi-working PSP, and another $10 off since I didn't want (or need) a power supply with it. So yeah, I got my malfunctioning black PSP 3000 switched for a working green PSP 3000 for just over $30. Not bad at all; repairs would surely have been more expensive.
Oh yeah, and it came with a 2GB memory card, too. Not bad. :) (That's smaller than the 4GB card I got with my first PSP, but still, more space is good!)
As for games...
Note that I got all the stuff below for $5 off overall (discount). I didn't factor that into the prices mentioned below.
Dreamcast
--
Gunbird 2 - $19, disc in case (no manual, just a photocopy of the cover) - The price was a little below ebay average in part because of the cracked cover and missing manual. Regardless, it was pricey, but the US DC shmups aren't exactly common... fantastic find! I really like Psikyo games, even if I'm not that good at them. And this is a good Psikyo game for sure. Plus, tate support was left in!
NES
--
Dungeon Magic - $6, cart only. Dungeon-crawling RPG.
PS1
--
Tyco RC - Assault with a Battery - free, would be $5. Okay, simple licensed racing game.
Game Boy / GB Color (Dual Mode) - Games were $3 each, B2G1 free, so $6 for the three. All are cart only.
--
Roadsters - Mediocre behind-the-car racing game reminiscent of Lamborghini American Challenge. It's playable but bland.
Rats! - Platform/puzzle game. It's alright, best of these three I think.
Looney Tunes: Carrot Crazy - Decent platformer starring Bugs and Lola Bunny. You can play as both; they're similar, but only Bugs can pull boxes and dig, and only Lola can float. This game isn't as good as GB Sunsoft Looney Tunes games, but it's way better than that other Infogrames Looney Tunes game I have for the GB/C...
